FAQs

Q: Can I save a label for different serving sizes for the same easy recall without having to edit recipe? A: Yes, you can do this using the Advanced Label feature in Genesis. With Advanced Labels, you can create many labels from one recipe. For example, I have a recipe for “chocolate bites”. I may sell those chocolate bites in a single serving package, or bulk (say 2lb) package, or in Canada, US, and Mexico. Each of those have different needs for a NFP, but all stem from the same Recipe. In this example, you can create the original Recipe, and even the most common label needed as the NFP on that Recipe. Then, you can create as many Advanced Labels as you wish from that core Recipe.
